"Lu Wake up please!"

Lu opened his eyes and he was in an unfamiliar place with a panicked Rick over him. Rick sighed and put his hand over Lu's cheek only to stroke it softly. That's when he pinched his cheek.

"You seriously going to scare me half to **** and think you are dead!?"

Lu winched from the pinch and smacked Rick.

"Pinch me again and I'm going to kick your balls into your throat!"

Rick could only laugh and pat his head.
"I thought I lost you..."

Days would pass and Rick was caught up on what was going on. Rick had pull but this was a lot to try and cover-up. He knew he couldn't cover this whole thing up but he could try and get Lu to China. China was a free state so he could live without worries. He just didn't know how to get him over the border...then it hit him.

"...Lu..I'm getting you out of here..."

It wasn't easy but Rick paid off a black market sailor to sail Lu to Korea. RIck hated the fact he had to pay somebody to do something illegal but he had **** to keep the small human safe. He was in love but wasn't going to say that out loud. Simply kissed the top of Lu's head and saw him off. Korea was still a Japanese state but he was able to call a friend in Interpol to direct him to a train that ran underwater and straight to China. Only Interpol and special cases went to that train but Lu sold everything and the money he was giving out was enough to get him on that train. He hated that this was probably the last he will see of Rick but he didn't say any goodbyes..he just silently hugged him and there meeting was over.
